Drilling Activity Summary
Description

The Cheyenne-based operator filed for a permit for #1-26H Sand Creek-Government in Section 26-46n-91w. No objectives or proposed depth were announced; however, the project is presumed to be a horizontal test targeting bypassed Frontier reserves. The drillsite is on the northeastern edge of Sand Creek Field, a Frontier accumulation on an anticlinal structure that was discovered and developed in 1947-1949. The discovery well, #45-26 Government in Section 26-46n-91w, was completed in an untreated openhole interval of Third Frontier at 6,685-6,753 ft flowing 589 bbl of 46-degree-gravity oil and 1.4 MMcf of gas per day with no water.
